Will work have to wait?
February 20, 2013
The next hour will decide whether 3YO goes in to nursery this afternoon or not, depending on whether she's managed to sleep and how the cough is. If she does go in, then I'll get about 1.5-2 hours where I can sit in a cafe somewhere and literally dip my little toe into the world of work. If not, then the next 30 minutes is my lot for the week. And the question I'm left asking myself is: will work just have to wait? Not only this week. But in general. Do I have to change my mindset?
“And what’s your occupation?”
January 16, 2013
I’ve noticed recently that I’ve had to answer this question a fair amount recently – various registration forms for either of my girls, a market researcher I spoke to yesterday at the station and notably when Contented Hubby registered 9MO’s birth. He decided for me that if I’d written a book I was an Author, so that’s what I am on 9MO’s birth certificate!! Pre the birth of 3YO, it was easy I was a ‘Marketing Communications Manager’. Simple. Straight-forward. Now, I tend just to go for ‘self-employed’ and not to go into any further detail than that. But in reality I guess I see myself as a ‘Self-Employed Part-Time Working Mumpreneur’. My life is no longer simple and straight-forward. It isn’t in any way as compartmentalised as it once was.
New Girl on the job
November 13, 2012
The time is 09:23. I’m sitting at my desk and the house is quiet. Hubby took the girls off to nursery nearly two hours ago. Since then I’ve had breakfast, tidied the kitchen, put the washing on, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher and put that on too, gone round in circles as to what swimming lesson we should book 3YO on, had a browse through accommodation and dates at Centre Parcs. But now it’s time to work. The problem is: where do I start? After 8 months or so ‘off’ work, how do I build up momentum again?
